Sciatica is a condition where pain radiates along the sciatic nerve — from the lower back through the hip and down the leg. At AVK, we use Marma therapy and herbal bandaging to address nerve compression and inflammation at the root, providing lasting relief without surgery.

Sciatica is known as Gridhrasi in Ayurveda — a vata-dominant condition where aggravated vata compresses and inflames the sciatic nerve pathway. Treatment stimulates the Kukundara and Kati marma points to release compression, with sustained herbal bandaging to nourish the nerve and reduce inflammation.
Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.
Precise stimulation of Kukundara, Kati and Janu marma points along the sciatic pathway to release nerve compression and restore normal vata movement.
Warm medicated pastes and oils applied along the lumbar region and down the nerve path — reducing inflammation and supporting nerve recovery.
Internal medicines with nerve-nourishing and anti-inflammatory herbs to strengthen the spine, reduce pain and support long-term recovery.
Activity modification, targeted stretches, vata-pacifying diet and a daily routine to prevent flare-ups.
